Wastewater Treatment
Comparison of thermal destruction technology for complete biosolid processing
12/09/2012
Sewage sludge production is rising around the world. This is due to population growth, stricter legislation, and new investment in wastewater infrastructure. Whilst, typically considered a nuisance, sludge has numerous benefits which can be exploited, such as the reuse of nutrients or extraction of energy. Previously in Europe, reluctance for land recycling of sludge coupled with cheap energy led to the development of sludge treatment strategies which were heavily reliant on energy intensive processing.
